hey everybody, my buddy has a set of white 5 14 inch bus wheels from his 66. I was thinking about putting them on my 60. With some traxion tires.
my question is will the 14 inch bus wheels fit on a stock 60?

I don't think they will fit on the back with short axles. Up front they will limit steering, increasing the turning radius quite a bit. They will tuck the tires in 9/16 inch at each corner.

Yeah, the offset is too much for a bug, you'd have to use spacers to get them to line up properly and doing that is rather counter-productive.

I do not know how to fix this. All I can say is it all works fine for me with what I use, Firefox. |
